angel boots

I have owned a pair of the angel sole boots since they first hit the market and I am still wearing them ... over 15 yrs . Have not needed new soles or repairs. Buying a new pair as I see my size being discontinued !

Since my original posting, Fluevog have been kind enough to send me a replacement pair of boots. I hope these last a bit longer than the last pair but either way I do appreciate Fluevog standing behind their product and customers enough to make good on a pair of boots that was clearly defective. Thank you Fluevog.

Love these!

I just retired my lovely boots after 15 well worn years. The leather wore out before the sole did. 2 trips around the world, a six month stint in one of the hottest places on earth in a war zone, and 1 house built - and they never failed me. Lots of compliments on the look - especially from our soldiers! Needed a steel toe option. Looking forward to ordering a new pair in September. Thanks Fluevog for the best boots I've ever had!

I bought a pair of these for my husband, and he loved them at first. After just under a year the sole came apart (much like what other reviewers are complaining about). When we contacted the store we were told that the warranty is only 8 months and that we would have to pay to have these repaired. How sad that such an expensive pair of shoes would be so poorly crafted that they fall apart after 1 year of normal use. I will not be buying or supporting Fluevog shoes any longer.

Bought these exactly one year ago and the sole of one just fell off. Seems like shoddy workmanship for such a short period of time on boots that were not worn all that much. Sadly Fluevog only stand behind their work for 8 months. When I sent an email expressing my disappointment to Fluevog, all I got was an email back saying what I already knew, that for $50 I can get them resoled. I own boots from Fred Segal that have lasted 10 years and not needed shoe laces. How is it possible that these shoes that cost well over $200 fall apart after such a short period of time? My goal is to now warn those who might buy these shoes that they will fall apart every year and that the Fluevog warranty is useless.

Useless

So I have a pair of Derby Swirl boots,and my wife got me some soles for them.I've had these boots for about 14 yrs. and the only thing wrong with them is that they need to be resoled,and unfortunately the boot/shoe repair stores in the Chapel Hill area are incompetent and can't handle the job.Can you help me?

Disappointed in my Derbys

I bought my first pr of derby swirls when I was in grade 11 (early 90s) and they lasted me almost 10yrs!! I was sooo happy. I bought myself a new pr Oct 2009 and within 6 months the inner "leather" lining started to pull up (separated from the sole) and then some seams on the outer leather fell apart too. I bought them in Seattle and couldn't exchange or return them in Vancouver, so I have a useless pr of sad boots. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! Too much money to have wasted on boots that didn't last 6months. :-(
